The capital Commission Act.

Pierre Free Press: The Free Press
has heretofore put itself on record as
iayoring q square repeal of the capital
commission law, and believes that it
voices the almost unanimous sentiment
of the people OF Pierre and HugheT
county. The iniquities of that law and
the commission created by it have been
the sabject of 80 much comment and dis
cnsslon that it is needless to recount
them now. Sufficient now is to say that
the questions and complications grow
log ont Of that law must be met sooner
or later. and nothing can be gained by
postponing the evil day. The Free
Press believes that the territory would
be the gamer morally, financially and in
every other way by . straight repeal
Of that law, even il the Leg
islature should immediately
afterwards locate the capital at Bis
marck. While we believ, the territory
would be the gamer by such Q course,
we would like to see Yankton made the
capital until such q time % q permanent
location of o capital for the state OF Da.
| kota. or south Dakota, shhll be chosen,
and leave it to q vote Of the people. II
is generally known that the capitol
building at Bismarck has already cost
the territory Thousand OF dollars; 1t il
also known that the capital commission
has issued. thousand Of dollars in war
rants, and that . coart has decided that
these warrants must be paid. 1t il
estimated that these warrants
reach nearly n hundred thousand
dollArs, but exactly what amount il mot
generally known. There is work. and
patriotic work for the coming legislature
TO do in overhsuling this capital conn
mission, and the Free Press believes il
should take hold OF the matter ct once
and handle it without gloves.
Valley Springs E~nteyprise:, The
proper thing now to do is to remove the
capital back to Yankton and let 1t
remain there until the people by vote
ssyf where they want IL located. This
weIwin always maintain to be the proper
way to settle the question. With Bis
marok as the capital OF north Dakota we
dolnot object. But with Bismarck for
the capital Of the whole territory, we
emphaticslly say no, neveri

the INSANE AND FOOLISH.
They Increase in Massachusetts as
in Maine Faster than they Ought.

Boston, Jan. 23.-The annual report of
the State Board of Lunacy and Charity, just
issued, shows the number Of immigrants ar
riying by water in Massachusetts during the
year ending September 80, 1886, to be 2S,512,
against 19,90S during the preceding year. The
whole number of State paupers supported or
in some way aided from the State treasury
was 1900. The number of indoor poor of
the cities and towns was nearly 1900 in the
year, of whom about $500 are insane per-
sons. These are all provided for in $50 es-
adjustments of total valuation of $780,
600. The interest charge averages about $43
per year for each person, ,lwhile the aggregate
charge for interest at per cent on all the es-
adjustments is more than half as great as
the whole expenditure in the State for out
door relief. The statistics of inmates in the
various State institutions, show the aggre-
gate of 5,244, showing an increase Of 654 in
eight years, which is wholly due to the in
crease of insane and idiotic persons. The
expenses of the Board were.$252, ,610 of an ap-
preparation of $259,300. The report states
that the rate of insane persons appears to in
crease faster than does the general popula-
tion. The total number in the State is now
estimated atl6000. The Board renews many
OF its former recommendations, and also sug-
gests the maintenance of an inebriate asy-
lum. 1t urges definite plan for the distri-
bution OF the insane among various estah-
lishments, and the restoration of separate
board of trustees for the State almshouse and
State workhouse.

SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 23.-It is said that
the Senate will organize Tuesday. Another
lively week is anticipated in the House, as
certain Democrats express a determination
to unseat Speaker Band. AS a precaution
the Speaker has already drawn his salary
for the entire season. This, however, would
not interfere with the Democratic plan,
which is apt to be carried out unless Mr..
Baird promises to vote for Mr.. Albeit in the
Senatorial contest. With his vote the DEM
ocrats would have the necessary Al votes to
elect Mr.. Albeit, provided the Senate Or
ganizes.
A rumor prevails that the Republicans
are holding out strong inducements to Baird
to throw overheard entirely the Democrats,
from whom he can never expect other
office. There is also strong
reason to believe that the
two labor assemDlymen are dallying with
Sewall emissaries With them and Baird,
Sewall can win. But it is said that If these
three go to Sewall, the Democratic majority
in the Assembly will unseat more Republic
cans from disputed districts, to make good
the deficiencies. There are ten disputed
seats in all,

She Thinks Her Husband Committed
Sui eide by Taking Poison.

BELFAST, Jan. 22.-In the Crockett mur-
der trial today Colonel w. H.. Fogler made
an able opening address to the jury. after
which the accused, Mrs Martha M. Crock
ett, was sworn and testified.
She said; Il am 5S years old, and was born
and have always lived in Swanyille. | was
married to William Harvey when 16 years
old, and by him had three daughters and
two sons, all now living. My first husband
died in 1875. / married Ruel Crockett in
December, 1888.
Twice left Crockett on account of trouble
but on the first occasion only stayed away
three days. The other time, which was las t
year, was away four months" In regard to
the dinner the day Crockett was taken sick,
she said that he told her that he never knew
the dinner to taste so good.
She prepared the meal entirely herself.
She never had any poison in the house.
Then she described at length his sickness,
and said she did all she could for him, and
watched with him both nights
She denied much that Nellie Crockett and
other witnesses had testified, and said she
told Nellie to eat of the fried apples if she
wanted to, but she didn't know whether she
did or not.
She said that Crockett had sick spell
about two weeks before his death, and COM
planned of a burning IN his stomach. Crock
EFT had several times last year said that he
wanted to kill himself, as he was tired of
living. Last October she found him in the
shed one day with rope around his neck.
She took it off and carried it into the house.
She said Crockett's property was worth
about $3.50.
Mrs. Crockett was subjected to q search
ing cross-examination by Attorney General
Baker. She said she thought Mr.. Crockett
committed suicide, but did not think so when
he died first thought so when his body was
taken up and poison found in it. She be
lieyed he committed suicide when the Off
GERS arrested her, but didn't know that she
told them so.
Mrs. John Bragdon, a daughter of Mrs.
Crockett, testified that she was at her moth
er's most o. the time while Crockett was
sick, and she corroborated her mother in
many things. Sunday she Mrs. Bragdon)
ate some Of the fried apples and gave the
rest to the pig. She said that woman told
her that Crockett bought poison at Belfast
drug store. Witness said Crockett had told
her he thought of killing himself.
The interest in the trial continues and the
court room is crowded at each session, a
large part of the audience being ladies.

CRABTREE LEDGE.
Cheaper to Remove the Rock than to
Build a Lighthouse.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-At the last
session of Congress an appropriation of
$25,00O was made for the erection Of light
house at Crabtree Ledge, Frenchman's Bay,
Maine. After making the preliminary eY-
aminations, Major Stanton, engineer of the
lighthouse district, informs the department
that there are only about 400 cubic yards Of
rock above plane u feet below mean low
water, and that it can be removed for less
than one-half the cost of lighthouse to
mark its position. He says that the greatest
draught of water of steamers plying be-
tween Bar Harbor and the railroad terminus
at Mt. Desert ferry is 10 feet, and as vessels
cannot pass Sullivan's Falls in the river
above at mean low tide drawing more than
seven feet of water, it is thought that the re-
moval of the rock to the depth Of 70 feet be-
low mean low water would be adequate for
safety.

DARING McCLYNN.
The Pope Himself to Settle the Case
-vigorouse Utterances on the Land
Question.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-In his letter to
Archbishop Corrigan, DIR. McGlynn has
made this remarkable and daring statement
of his position:
"My doctrine about land has been made
clear in speeches, in reported interviews and
in published articles, and i repeat it here. l
have taught and / shall continue to teach, in
speeches and writings as long as live, that
land is rightfully the property of the people
in common and that private ownership of
land is against natural justice, Ro matter by
what civil or ecclesiastical laws it may be
sanctioned; and would bring about instant
ly if | could such change of laws, all the
world over, as would contscate private prop
erty in land without one penny OF compen-
sation to the miscalled owners"
The friends of DIR. McGlynn are not dis
turbed by the statement of Archbishop Cor
rigan. They say that his grace, has, with
seeming unfairness, left out all that part of
the correspondence between him and Father
McGlynn, which showed in favor of the
priest.
In the letter of December 20, quoted by his
grace as a fiat refusal of the priest to go to
Rome, it is said that Father McGlynn gave
imperative personal and family reasons why
| he should not go, and that what is given as a
| bold defiance of the Archbishop was really
DuI pain statement OF fatner McOlynH
| position.
Father MeGlynn will write areply as soon
| as he is well enough, and it is anticipated
that it will be veritable firebrand in the
camp of his grace.
Henry George today, speaking of Arch.
bishop Corrigan, said: "The statement is
| garbled the archbishop was afraid to pub.
| lish DIR. MeGlynn's letters in full, for il
would injure his case. He has not made any
answer to my challenge, and | think that he
is afraid to deny the Statement made about
| him. When DR.. McGlynn's letters are pub
| lished in full, the people will see what &
schemer the Archbishop is"
ROME, Jan. 22.-The Pope having reserved
| for himself the settlement of the case of Rev
| DR.. Edward McGlynn Of New York, it is ex
pected in ecclesiastical circles here that the
latter will submit to the commands of the
| church.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The services at st

attire inside the church. A committee of DR.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
A NEW RAILWAY.

The construction Of railway from Har-
bon Grace to Placentia, N. f., Is likely TO
bring about some important changes In the
carrying Of ocean malls and passengess 20
and from Great Britain. Fifteen hundred
men are employed in the work. On the COM
pletion Of the Placentia branch from Harbor
Grace, which is already connected with st.
Johns by rail, passengers and mails for Can
ada and the United States will be landed at
st. Johns, and from there transferred by
rail TO Placentia, thence across the
Gult Of St. Lawrence by steamer to Louis
burg, cape Breton, a twenty-four hours sail,
ana from there by an all rail route to their
destination. This route, will be completed
in July, 1883, and will undoubtedly be popular
for travel across the Atlantic, as by taking the
all rail route from LOuisburg, that long, te-
dlous voyage from St. Johns TO Halifax or
New York will be averted. The Cape Breton
road, frOm CanSO TO LOuisburg, Is already
under contract, and will be pushed forward
with all possible speed.
